Depression can range from mild sadness to clinical depression requiring hospitilization. Depression has many possible causes, from dealing with mourning, situalional i.e. problems at work, marital/family issues and or health concerns. Or depression can be caused due to a chemical imbalance of brain chemistry. We believe a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis vital in the treatment of all forms of depression, because epression can manifest in numerous forms. Our clinicians are trained in both traditional and holistic (total person wellness) philisophies. Thus ensuring the best possible assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan is developed for each client.

Research shows that the most effective treatment for depression is psychotherapy. Depression can range from feeling down to major symptoms such as having trouble even getting out of bed or contemplating suicide (if you have suicidal thoughts or plans, call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255). Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

Naomi Korn, LicSW, BCD

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I can help you explore the history of your depression, whether it is situational, short term response to stress, or long term which needs to be evaluated for chemical imbalance factors. Talk therapy has been shown to be effective and long term talk therapy has been identified in a large client study as most effective when clients are asked what helped. I can help you to identify your unique childhood and family history experiences and how to desensitize, reprocess and learn to shift what doesn't work to more effective coping strategies. Homework and journalling are used to track your progress.

Marjorie Siegel, LICSW

Clinical Social Worker

Depression can be very frightening and dangerous. It takes many forms and requires sensitive and flexible treatment. I work with people who are depressed to understand the ways in which behaviors that are efforts to find relief can compound their suffering, for example crawling into bed or seeking comfort from substances like food, alcohol, street and prescription drugs. Together we develop resources that are more effective and reliable means of improving their disordered mood both as short and long term solutions. Over time, I work with people to understand their vulnerability to depressive episodes and find strategies to minimize their intensity and recurrence.

Psychotherapist and Pastoral Counselor

If you are dragging yourself around -- no energy, no pleasure in life, overwhelmed by feelings of sadness, helplessness or worthlessness, your mind may be telling you there is no hope. But the opposite is true. Depression is very treatable. Actually 80-90 percent of people with depression report feeling better if they go for assessment, therapy, and, if appropriate, medication. Let an experienced therapist guide you. When depression lifts, your energy and interest in life increases, you restore curiosity and creativity, you're less irritable and hard on those around you, you make healthier decisions, and you're grateful again for the beauty, humor, and love in your life.
